PREPARATION AND RECOVERY, YOUR SPRING RACING MUST-HAVES

With only a few days to go until the Melbourne Cup Carnival, you might have your outfits planned but have you got your health sorted? We’ve pulled together a list of must-have items for your Spring Racing day preparation and recovery.

Prepare and recover with Swisse

Race days are long days in the sun with plenty of bubbles and drinks, and the perfect way to prepare yourself for the long day ahead, you should try SwisseUltivite + Energy Effervescent. The unique dissolvable tablets help support mental stamina, alertness and physical performance. Containing B vitamins, vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc, the Swisse Ultivite + Energy is a great way to kick off your day.

At the end of race day celebrations, definitely have the Swisse Ultiboost Liver Detox on hand to give your body a boost and help with recovery. The key ingredient is St Mary’s Thistle, which has traditionally been used to help support liver health and function, and was in fact used by Ancient Greeks and Romans as a treatment for liver ailments.

The Swisse Ultiboost LIver Detox effervescent includes B vitamins to assist with the energy production, especially given B vitamin levels might be depleted after a long day of sipping drinks at the races.

Swisse is available at leading supermarkets, pharmacies and health stores across Australia. For more information visit www.swisse.com/au

Revitalise and restore with Pressed Juices

Pressed Juices have launched a new range of juices to detox and revitalise the body for Summer but are also perfect to revitalise yourself before and after Race Day. The new range includes some great mixes including:

Black Lemonade which is great to cleansing and kick starting the day as it contains Alkaline Water, Cayenne, Lemon and Activated Coconut Charcoal. This is a highly beneficial detoxifier for whole body cleansing, which eradicates toxins and helps to restore the body to its natural and proper condition.

Pressed Juices’s bright new, revitalising Endurance Elixir contains key ingredients to awaken the system such as beetroot, raspberry, carrot, raw cacao powder and rainbow shard – a relative of beetroot and silverbeet. Ideal to consume when you’re in need of a sustained energy pick-me-up.

The new, subtle Slippery Elm is perfect in the evening as a post-dinner drink due to its calming, soothing and healing nature. This tonic includes Licorice Root, Chia Seeds full of vitamin complexes, Cinnamon, Alkaline Water and Marshmallow Root, which provides an antioxidant effect. This also uniquely includes Slippery Elm Bark Powder, used as a herbal remedy for centuries with a soothing effect on the digestive system.

blk premium fulvic-enhanced all natural mineral water is something that’s a bit more than your usual bottle of water. It’s water infused with alkaline fulvic minerals that provide hydration and nutrient benefits without sugar, carbs or calories.

As it’s name might suggest, blk is black in colour that comes from the fulvic trace minerals that are added to pure water. Distilled over millions of years, fulvic trace minerals are rare organic materials, originating from pre-historic plants that boosts the hydrating properties of water and quickly energises each cell. blk is also high in electrolytes meaning that it is the perfect drink to sip during the day between drinks to help restore electrolyte levels and help with hydration. Perfect as an end of day drink too!
